Who here does it? How's it workin for ya?
I'm thinking of adding a spring reverb to the front of my chain and keeping a Ghost Echo near the end. For verb-wiches and... DOUBLE REVERB STACKTASTICNESS

i have an RRR at the front of my chain, then an alesis midiverb at the end, run into a Fender PA100 with spring verb at about noon. thinking of adding a supernatural too, need some of them shimmer tones and ambient verbs

I stack an RRR with an RV-3, and a Context is soon getting added to the stack after the Prymaxe backorder is done with.
Triple verb stacktasticness!

I have a cathedral before fuzz and a stereo wet and rv5 after. When stacked it sounds huuuuggeeeee

stacking reverbs is AMAZING.

I stack a shimverb on spring into a Trinity using a 14 second decay tone print and it's the most cloud-like ethereal experience ever

How is stacking reverbs with shorter decay? The ghost echo doesn't decay for that long and I'm not sure what I would pair with it. I'm not too keen on huge trails cause it doesnt super fit my playing style. Would two shorter decays = a longer decay or just more depth to the tone or wut.

Man, I love this place.

I have a Chicken, and have been on the lookout for a Holy Grail to stack it with.
If it's as good as I hope it's going to be, I can't wait!

It would do more depth!

now HERE's a subject near and dear to my heart. when i have everything running i have a maximum of five reverbs i can run simultaneously: a RV-3, a Ghost Echo, a rackmounted Yamaha GEP50 with a SPX90 in its effects loop, and a Alesis MidiVerb II. my favorite thing with multiple reverbs is to use different 'verbs for their own part of the sound. examples might include using the RV-3 for pedal-sounding 'verb and the Ghost Echo for a more realistic spatial sound, and using the Early Reflections settings on the SPX90 with the room/hall/plate/digital 'verbs on the GEP50 to create more realistic simulations of hall spaces. The MidiVerb is last in the chain and mainly gets used for the #45 and #48 settings to mangle everything in the chain, as a reverb if the Yamahas are doing a different task e.g. phasing or echo, or to warm things up when i'm using the rack's compressor or parametric EQ.

I use a Dispatch Master's reverb and short delay before all my dirt and then a Dr. Scientist RRR at the end of my chain for a nice wash and spluttery sound.

the way i think about using effects was totally influenced by an interview with Depeche Mode back when they were a new group and i was a hippie who lived in Sonoma and read Trouser Press (an indie music mag that was started by Ira from Yo La Tengo in the 70s) to stay in touch. they talked about using the sampler for drum sounds, and going around London banging on dumpsters to get samples. but the idea that so influenced me was Martin Gore saying that they'd combine samples for a single drum's role, using one sample for the attack and another for the body and decay of the note. ever since then i've been doing stuff like dialing in a little cymbal bell with the regular ride cymbal on my drum machine to make it more sparkly and 3D. that's what i do with the Yamahas now, one for attack and one for ambience.

Rockerverb + blueSky.

Yes, I stack.

YES!
I use a Rub-A-Dub Long Brick for my main Reverb and a RRR by its side to get crazy.

So here is a hypothetical for while I wait for things in the mail.

I want to run dirt, verb, dirt, verb, with a delay in there somewhere. My dirt is going to be a rat and a fuck. The Reverb is a Procession (more hall/plate style it seems) and a spring chicken. Any order tips? I'm thinking rat, procession, fuck, chicken. Anyone have ideas for while I dream of future tones unknowable? And where does the delay go? I don't like it after too much razzle-dazzle because the repeats turn into just mud really quick. I was thinking just put it first, or right after the rat. Any ideas welcome!
